STARSCOPE
VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23): Avoid making important long-term business or financial commitments, as you’re likely to change your mind later. Your finances are in a state of flux so do your best to be flexible with your budget.
LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23): You’re tuned into the energy around you, and will pick up on the moods of others. So surround yourself with positive people, places and experiences. Plus, direct your creativity into a cherished dream.
SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22): The planets highlight your Scorpio compassion and spirituality. So channel your energy into activities like meditation, yoga or helping others. Otherwise you’ll just feel stressed and restless.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 to Dec 21): A bored Sagittarian is bad news! You’re full of beans today, so make sure you focus all that fiery energy appropriately via activities like study, learning, travel, teaching, exercise or sport.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 20): Capricorns are natural critics. But today you need to criticise less and encourage more, as you look for creative solutions to tricky problems. If you feel restless, then escape outdoors.

PISCES (Feb 20 to March 20): It’s a good day for study and research as you stimulate your mind, extend your horizons and ferret out fascinating new information. Then put your newly discovered ideas into practice!
ARIES (March 21 to April 20): You’ll feel energised and spontaneous as you do things in your own highly individual way, without the interference of others. Just make sure you don’t jump from the frying pan into the fire!
TAURUS (April 21 to May 21) Bulls can be very stubborn! So your motto for the moment is from Gwenyth Paltrow, who turns 46 today – “The older I get, the more open-minded I get. And the less judgemental I am.”
GEMINI (May 22 to June 21): You can be a real airhead; full of ideas, plans and schemes. Especially today! Your mind’s working at lightning speed but avoid skipping over important details along the way.
CANCER (June 22 to July 23): There’s bold impulsive energy about which could work well for cautious Crabs. It will shake you out of your comfort zone and get you moving forwards again, with renewed confidence.
